Server Changing the default map from Biotics Lab

[Aphyon]

Hello, I'm using a gameservers dedicated server along with the KF2 server interface for the server, anyone know how to set the default map to a different one? Thanks!

In your launch batch script you can set the map you want it to start with. Example batch:

start .\Binaries\win64\kfserver kf-burningparis?gamelength=0?difficulty=0 will always launch Burning Paris on short and normal.

Reach your customer support for them to change your start map, you surely do not have access to the startup command line, I mean they didn't have that feature back when I used them for a while years ago, they surely still do not have these options (or else you probably would have found them in your control pages on their website).

edit: nevermind, you wrote you're using a dedicated server so yeah, modify your startup command line manually obviously as Yoshiro told you.

KFGame\Config > PCServer-KFEngine.ini > ServerLocalMap= here you can set default map that server will always start with without using batch file

If you're using linux, you can add a maplist and start the server from a random map

You need to define $GameMode and other variables if you want to use them. It's a exemple.
ps : It's an old script, when I started scripting, PM me for a complete version.
